plans for fraternity housing which could make dormitory-style dwellings available to fraternities by 1962 the large enrollment and expected increase in resident population at ub is making this proposed housing project possible the dean said the individual fraternity houses of the six pillar variety he added are neither feasible for this university with such a shortage of land nor consistent with the current trend of the nation's colleges it appears that fraternities must now decide whether to accept this proposal or to gamble on the uni versity obtaining the golf course and having enough room to build individual houses it should be noted however that it is not like ly that ub will acquire the golf course in the near future nor is it definite that individual houses would be built even if the land were obtained with the program now outlined fraternities are asked to decide within the week to adopt the hous ing proposal or take their chance on an uncertain future stumbling along with a few six-man living dwellings and many small apart ments for their members the proposed dwellings would be four-story walkup vertical units although they would be connected each fraternity would have

living in these ultra exclusive units will be about 40 a year more than the present cost of dorm living food will be served family style by a caterer chosen by the university it is not out of the question however to have the fraternities choose their own caterers after things get rolling and ub pays off some of the debts which will be incurred from construction of the units fraternities how
